Uh oh

Yeah this is probably breaking like a thousand rules, but is there any word on when this will be updated?

It's becoming less and less of a daily driver for me and it's making me really sad because I love this ROM. :(

Never bro. You mad?

Another good App to try when you wanna back-up and reinstall your Apps is called "App Monster Pro" ; for some odd reason I've run into some occasional problems with both Titanium and MyBackup ( of course those problems may very well of been on my part and not on the products themselves ) , but I have yet to ever have any issues with App Monster Pro. One thing to remember though is that you wanna make sure when you are reinstalling your Apps to select "from Market" instead of from "SD Card" because that may cause problems ... just saying
[Epic 4G Android Development] jojo08:
Sorry if its been asked before, I tried a thread search but I couldn't find what I was looking for. I noticed that Launcher Pro is not linked with the market, in order to keep that up to date is it ok to install the newer version from the market or would there be some possible problems doing that? Thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nitefall:
I started having a weird problem just today after not changing anything for days on my phone, and I've been running this rom since the day it came out w/genocide kernel.

Anyway my settings for beautiful widgets and widget locker will not stick at all. I'm still learning but pretty quickly so I have tried clearing data multiple times to no avail....

If anyone has a suggestion thank you
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Go right ahead and install it from the market. It works fine. After you download the app your current launcher pro will force close and then Restart and you'll be updated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jockovonred:
I've used both TB and MBP to restore apps and limited data (like memo entries from the default memo.apk).

With MyBackup or Titanium Backup, the issue isn't the APK files which are restored but the data, and specifically some of the data tied to the Google/Sprint/Samsung applications (aka messages, contacts, etc). Using Google to store contacts alleviates the need to restore contact information so it's not necessary to restore contacts after the fact (contacts are restored when you reset your login info on the phone and the initial sync is performed).

As well, using SMSBackup+ stores all MMS and SMS in Gmail, so there's not much need for restoring those either as it leads to force close issues with framework and google services (at least in the case of TB).

Of course not restoring messages means they won't be on the phone, but again, they're backed up onto Gmail, which can be accessed via the phone, so win-win...and the message screen isn't buggered with tons of messages (and I get to keep all my pictures people have sent to me without fear of losing them).

Anyhoo, hope this bit of info helps those caught in the force close (FC) loops after trying to restore some data using Titanium or MyBackup.

I prefer MyBackup as it allows for time-stamped, separated backups and allows options to either backup system data only, application data only or all of it (system data and application data). Titanium seems to just lump everything together. However, I use both (at the expense of SD card space) since I started with TB and it contains backups not in my MyBackup backups. :D

That's what I was trying to explain in my last post :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] Pibe38:
Did you flash the Standard or the Fully Loaded version of the ROM?

I think Samsung SnS is only included with the Fully Loaded version.

If you flashed the Fully Loaded version, go to Settings, Accounts and Sync, Add Account and you should see a Facebook option close to the top under Integrated Contact Accounts (the logo will look a little different than the one from the Facebook app).

Add your account, sync contacts, and then mark that caller id picture as default for each contact.

See my previous post for tips on how to differentiate which photo comes from which account (Samsung SnS or Facebook app) when marking as default.

Done. Your Facebook sync'ed pictures should now appear under the Messaging app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
If anyone cares i got the whole facebook contact pics to show up in my texts.

Also i ran into some issues with this rom today after a reboot.

i kept getting FCs on google framework and gapps.

have no idea what happened. i had to wipe and reflash the rom.

i didnt have a nandroid setup.

i also seem to have some battery drain going on as well but dont have anything running.

maybe it takes some time to settle in?
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
Thanks

i figured it out, we posted at the same time lol.

i had to go into merging contacts but i did get it to work.

thanks for both your informative posts, they did help.

I changed all the ones in the drawable-hdpi folder in the framework res and that just made it look strange. Am I missing something?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
using the bonsia mods are not supported. Are framework.jar is heavily modified for are rom. Bonsia's framework.jar is heavily modified in a different way. By flashing the bonsia one your loosing are hacks and mods that are built into framework.jar. It may seem like its working now bit chances are you broke some things
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shoulon:
Here's the Modded Gallery3D.apk i said i'd post up.

It works better and smoother, also no sensor bug =)

@k0nane - If you see this, recommend it in next release.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Pibe38:
I'm glad you got it all figured out... it's a weird bug that can get very annoying if you use Facebook as the main source for your contacts' caller id pictures.
[Epic 4G Android Development] andsamp:

Please help! need a few stock apps...

Please help! need a few stock apps...

I have downloaded this version:

SyndicateROM Fully Loaded - the choice of ACS team lead rjmjr69 - features TouchWiz instead of LauncherPro, and adds in Social Network Sync, Facebook, BuddiesNow, Program Monitor, and the stock live wallpapers. All the rest of the bloat is still gone!

1. I cant find the Program Monitor app to use

2. Please can someone post the SamsungWidget_FeedAndUpdate.apk - by itself so i can install that and not everything in the - syndicatefro-stockapps-signed.zip collection.

- also had this question

a. SamsungApps.apk - whats in this app ??
[Epic 4G Android Development] kos26:
It might just be me.. But I don't have any call audio. I don't know if it's rom related, but I didn't have this problem prior. When making a call, I can't hear it ring and I can't hear the person on the other end, and they can't hear me. It's like it's on mute. I can't turn the speaker phone on and all the volumes are up. It seems like my audio is generally all screwed up.. It will make tones for messages and calls, but won't play one when selecting them in the settings. I also can not use bluetooth.

Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] adrift02:
Anyone able to post their battery life results? Just wondering at the difference between the two versions re battery life...I know everyone will be different depending on what they run but I would love to see some results for general reference.

My first run yesterday resulted in ~16 hours under light use. But, I calibrated my battery for today so we will see if it improves (it does seem to be better so far).
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
Rehash the rom over what you got but wipe cache, dalvik cache, and cache. Then reflash and you should be set sounds like a bad flash
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
Yeah -- ES File explorer is the free one that lets you do it, as you state. I mistakenly suggested Astro. I just tried to do it with Astro and it said insufficient permissions. Doing it with Root Explorer is so easy, so, I recommend buying it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
Dont have numbers for you but since the rom release my screen hasn't been off but at the same time I'm lasting twice as long as stock. Usually get six hours screen on and lots of data now I get 10 hours easy pushing it hard. Those are averages
[Epic 4G Android Development] boominz28:
worked perfect gracias, and yes i will be getting root explorer. still like the explorer that tw had.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kos26:
Working on it now. When I first flashed the rom I had some issues. When trying to interact with the phone it would vibrate erratically and then reboot it's self. I flashed the rom again and it went away. I'll try it again and see what happens.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kos26:
Didn't fix.

Battery is draining rather quick but I can't get my gps to lock on at all..the first time I flashed I got it to 4 meters and now it doesn't lock at all even after a few raflashes
[Epic 4G Android Development] kobuu:
All I have to say is WWWOOOWWW!!!! I have been running the rom for only a couple days. First full charge was yesterday morning and I'm just now at 15%! That's more than 30hrs of continuous power and heavy usage. *one disclaimer: I do have the extended battery from seidio* but I never saw that kin of life out of previous roms.

Seriously, this rom is amazing.

anyone else seeing this
[Epic 4G Android Development] big_bake:
I've read the whole thread. First time I've seen anything picasa related.

If anyone didn't catch k0nane's post a couple pages back his priority right now is the SSL bug. I'm sure people would want access to things like mobile banking.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boominz28:
ok? not sure what that has to do with picasa , I just thought would mention . thought maybe someone else uses picasa on their phone.

sorry that second part wasn't directed at you. I was just stating that to try and keep redundant problems from being posted. Just about everything has been mentioned in the 94 pages so far lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xerexis:
Great Rom - Stable, FAST and NO Carrier IQ!! The only problem I have found is, as I was trying to calibrate the battery, you at some point have to turn the phone off and plug in the cable to charge the phone. This locks up the phone for me, the battery comes up along with the little burst and then it locks up all of the home, menu, back and search buttons light up and it becomes unresponsive. I can not use and buttons to turn on or do anything with the phone. I have to actually pull the battery to get the phone to reboot or turn on.

Any help with this would be appreciated. Thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] intx:
Use Root Explorer or another file manager that has access to root folders. (like Adao File Manager)

Navigate to /system/app and delete the apk in there
[Epic 4G Android Development] stir fry a lot:
I'm looking for the Picture Frame widget. Anybody got it?

Thats very old news =) you have to use an alternative browser.

You can strip the apk from any ROM that's not deoxodized.

This one it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bullitnutz:
I was using the Ondemand governor before giving up and odining to that stock plus rom. I had also tried other governors in SetCPU on my first Epic (the one I took to the Sprint store where they told me not only was the battery fried but the phone was a paperweight as well before replacing it fo' free) but with my second one I didn't want to take any chances in case it wasn't just a fluke. I hadn't tried moving the minimum clock up to 400 on my first Epic but moving it up to 200 didn't do anything, though I hadn't installed CPU spy. I had moved it to 400 minimum on my second Epic and that didn't fix it, regardless of governor, though I had only tried ondemand, conservative, and performance. CPU spy results showed no time spent at 100 MHz after moving to 400, though the wakelocks persisted. At that point I just decided to cut my losses and load a different ROM. Now I'm using the stock plus rom and haven't had any of those weird comatose phone episodes since odining it over yesterday. I'll take the performance hit over data corruption from battery pulls/lost texts/a brick anyday.

e: I blame the hardware and not the ROM - I have a feeling the CPU wizardry is likely the culprit and I just lucked out with getting two phones with the same inferior hardware, that is to say that it was inferior even to other Samsung phones of the Epic persuasion. It's very interesting that I NEVER had freezes while using the phone (except for a couple instances where it did it on long calls, basically fell asleep during the call without interrupting the call, and needed a batt pull afterwards) which led me to believe it was an issue with whatever stepdown the proc did when the phone went to sleep. I imagine it just went too low at some point after sleeping, resulting in an inability to wake the phone back up. Weird that even 400 (on the second phone) didn't fix, but it is what it is, and what it is is likely Samsung being Samsung, not an issue with the ROM.

Anyone having mms issues? I can't download them. I know it was mentioned that Sprint was having problems with this but that was over a week ago.

I may use slightly wrong terms here but I think if you cleard your level 2 ram that can mess this up. I forget the fix too...not much help...sorry

I don't knowv what you mean. Thanks anyway.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
Clearing level 2 ram stops services that you use in the background is what he means. Like the service for your mms. Reboot and dont clear it again if that's something you did.

I have not gotten FB contact pics to work (but I really haven't spent too long trying...) the FC's happened to me, it seemed to give a tiny bit of warning, I thought going fresh because of it having so many issues may be the best way anyways...unless of course you have a very early nandroid.

I guess it is the memory getting fragmented/damaged, a wipe/fresh install had it running perfect, the re-install is annoying but because of the damage your files have I'm not sure how smart it is to restore almost anything....

Question about this rom/ with standard kernal ... the front camera is sideways whenever I try to record or video chat. I was wondering if there was a fix, or if this will be fixed in the next release? It seems to be a problem on the stock epic also.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
There's your answer. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] counterfeit187:
Yeah, I just kind of figure you ROM masters were fixing the crap that samsprint left broken with your rom's and didn't know how much of a hassle it is to rotate the video 90 degrees counterclockwise. So that means its out of your hands? Hopefully they address this in the gingerbread release, I know the cam is not working as of yet in the leak.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
I'll look into it, but that's the first I've heard of it to my memory. Make sure it's not your choice of video chat apps.

I can confirm this happens on yahoo messenger. I rarely use it, but when I do, I have to turn the phone sideways.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shoulon:
The stock video player doesn't even allow portiat video neither from what I remember
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZiggSVO:
yea its the front facing camera period :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] counterfeit187:
also, turning the cam sideways does not fix the problem. The camera auto rotates when you turn the phone, it is just set up to display everything rotated at a 90 degree clockwise turn
[Epic 4G Android Development] running_the_dream:
Dreams to the rescue once again! Unfortunately, I don't stop my services. At least, I don't recall stopping my services since I have been on SRF. The problem seems intermittent. It worked just fine today. I didn't reboot or change anything since yesterday. Weird.

Definitely a Sprint issue.

Ive been getting crappy battery life.

Im 6 hours in and im at 8%.

Im using set cpu with on demand 1000 200.

Screen brightness is not auto and set very low.

I'm using fully loaded.

I'm unsure what else is draining it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks everyone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Charge to 100% with the device off and wipe battery stats in CWM. If you continue to have issues flash the EB13 modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Honestly, may be an app bug. I've never seen it. Try reinstalling the. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
I've done the wipe battery stats at 100% yesterday but with the phone on, should I attempt one more time as you described with the phone off?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
You can if you wish. Try the EB13 modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
I flashed this ROM and flashed VisionKernel v1.1 and in the build it still says v1.0? I wiped dalvik cache and tried again, no dice. I'm trying genocide now to see if that fixes it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Ignore the build number - you have 1.1 if you flashed it. If that cleared up any freeze issues you were having, you don't need to use Genocide.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
Okay then. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
load cpu spy and check that the phone is going into deep sleep. otherwise, you can wipe clean and reflash, that usually fixes those issues for me. also depends how much you actually using the phone. I work in an area with really bad coverage and can make it through 10 hours with 50% left. but phone is only used about an hour or so during the day.
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
I will try and let you know.

Can you tell me more about the EB13 modem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
Ill check out cpu spy,

This is a fresh wipe and flash as well.

I left got work at 850 today where it was at 100%, when I checked my phone again at 11am it was at 85% with nothing used that whole time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
It's just a different modem :) May give you more signal luck.
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
Thanks,

As for cpu spy, I tried it and when I open it, its blank and stays that way?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Have you charged it recently? You got the app from the market yes? Did you confirm the su prompt?
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
Yes, its been charging on and off for a few hours.

It did prompt for su.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Try clearing the app data and try again. And the more accurate readings will be seen from it when it's off the charger more :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
The button to clear data is cleared out.

I've installed and un installed already,no dice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Interesting, it's just not showing? :confused:

Just a blank screen, it says cpu spot up top,ill take a screenie.

I'm not sure why the colors are that way. But thats the app that did that.

For the video issue, I have had the problem with sideways front facing camera with all the video chat programs with the exception of OOVOO. It works well and you are right side up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
Maybe reflash with clean wipe, are you using default kernal? Do you have setcpu? I always have to start up setcpu in order to make cpuspy work
[Epic 4G Android Development] jinzhen:
I have an issue:

When i first started the rom, it was fine....it still is, by far the most consistently responsive rom ever, and coming from WinMo, I am truly appreciative on consistently responsive rom.

But now (and the past couple weeks - been using the room for longer than that) each time i start the phone up from a reboot - mainly because im replacing the battery (i have 5 batteries so rather than charge the phone directly, i switch them out and charge them separately), the phone goes through its standard media scan.

While this is happening LauncherPro shows many icons as blank icons (obviously since they are installed on the sd card), and usually after media scan, it takes a minute, but the icons finally restore themselves back to normal.

Now, the media scan will finish, and the apps are no longer recognized, thus maintaining blank icons on my homescreen. Even when checking the apps list, they only show installed apps on phone only. I would like to think the sd card is fine, since this happened on another card as well and I can browse the contents of the card just fine with an explorer, pictures and everything.

I have tried changing batteries, holding power button and pressing it many times with phone off (blackberry clearing trick i learned while doing tech support for marriott), using Rescan Media app, restarting phone using standing reboot option from holding power button or simply removing the battery, but can't find anything consistent enough to get it to recognize apps installed on sd card anymore.

It used to take several reboots to finally recognize apps, but today it took an hour of trying everything i could think of.....any idea of what is causing this and what I can do to fix it? Maybe just do a hard reset?
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
Btw, switched to genocide to stop the freezing and now stock browser is useless, I wasn't having this problem with stock kernal, with stock browser now, most of the time I can't see the text, using xscope now and I can see stuff
